Old Business

Insurance: We have insurance purchased for year September 2006 through August 2007. We increased the liability umbrella coverage an additional 2 million from the 1 million, giving us a total liability umbrella of 3 million. 

The property replacement value was increased by 4%, which is the industry standard. Snapper, Schuler, Kenner Insurance has advised us to increase an additional 6% giving us a total increase of 10% over the last year. The reasoning is that construction costs in Whatcom County have increased more than 4%. Paul Kenner is getting us a quote on what that additional value coverage would cost in premiums. We can add increased value to our insurance package at any time. Paul Kenner suggested we might want to pay to have a professional evaluate our complex and give us a professional opinion of replacement costs. The evaluation would cost us. Although, regardless of premium costs, we need to be at replacement costs according to our CC&Rs.

No decision has been made; this is a discussion that some board members feel is very important and must be handled properly.
